We have arrived! Well, it really is not that bad, but we are having a great time out here in East Tennessee. Adam, the hardest one to convince, is really loving it out here! He is becoming pro at cooing and stinky pooing. At his last doctor's visit he weighed in at a whopping 11 lbs. 14 oz. and measured in at 22.5 inches (though it looks like he's grown longer than just an inch...and his clothes will tell you the same thing).
We moved into our apartment when our things arrived on the 14th and there are still lots and lots of boxes...some unpacked, but most still packed. Brian looked for over half an hour last night looking for the rice cooker...but to no avail. We had potatoes instead. Personally, the potatoes were great...even better than rice.
Brian is enjoying his new job and all the associated training. If you had any questions about how to avoid slips, trips, or falls in a work place setting, I am confident he would know. The first key is to not tie your own shoe strings together! Really though, many of the training sessions (in person or computerized) have been instructive and beneficial.
My new job as mom has been different than the old job as a teacher. I've found that I need a list and a calendar with different things to do each day. Otherwise, I don't feel like I've accomplished much after feeding Adam 5 times and changing 6 diapers while Brian is at work becoming an accomplished engineer. I'm working on compiling a schedule containing things to do for each day of the week...and THE list that I can check off when I get those somethings done for each day. There's something about checking things off a list that is so...uh, satisfying. :)
Well, that's the most recent update. And seeing as we don't have internet yet, new posts won't be frequent...sorry. But we love you all very much and will update as soon as we can.
